A warning for all, this may be disturbing to some, include images of children affected by this accident. i suggest you don't view it, if it will disturb you.

mmm disturbing indeed. i got through the intro but don't have the time right now to do the rest of it justice by watching closely. very well done site with emotive pictures.

HI TOBY

Very interesting situation guys... look into it if you dont know much about it.. you will be shocked!

I remember watching the new when i happened... i was 14 and in year 9ish i think...

*sobs* thats awful

me too.....it was a dark day in history

Yeah, it was... but the government spent not very much money on it, and made a massive concrete barrier around it, which is rusting and about to fall apart...

They have the next stage planned, but it takes way too much money and neither the soviet or ukraine governments are gonna give anything to it.. they're expecting the west is gonna spend the money for them even though it was their fault in the first place...

Sad story...

they dont look too good.

thats so sad...its sad to see kids go thro things like that
